Hi
Many thanks for your project suggestion to Cherry Red. I'm not clear on the licensing issue - at the moment it's not easy to license titles from the majors for various reasons. This appeals to us so I'll look into it!
With best wishes
Tim @ Cherry Red
My dismay was that they licensed Freaky Trigger which in my mind was a lot inferior to the first album which had all the popular tracks and is going for vasts amount of money , surely they would have looked at Tears Baby before doing that one
Wonder why it is difficult to licence , its a shame if majors are making it difficult ( I completely understand if they have plans to do something with them) , I am sure people here would snap up a Fiat Lux compilation or the first three china crisis albums remastered with extra tracks , Secession a dark enchartment or another comiplation of secession , I would love something done with a few of the obscure bands like Cherry red did with the Mood a few years back.
Also amazes me as per one of the recent posts how the same 12"'s get rehashed on compilations like the recent synthpop one. Who curates these things , half of the tracks are not synth pop and i know that anyone of us could curate a much better compilation that would sell . The only people that seemed to have tried are the retroactive series that at least worked with us on suggestions and the first few issues of 12 " 80's
Anyway its the weekend soon
